After a long build process and over 2 months in upholstery I got my '51 Merc back yesterday and scheduled an alignment this AM. When it was finished we took it for a test drive. Went 6 blocks when a guy in a pick up turned in front of me. Result smashed front end that will need DE Soto teeth plus a complete repaint due to custom Hot Hues mix,a fender, bumper, hood, etc. Looks like $20k and a bunch more time. Damn!
Man, that stinks. I bought two 49-51 merc front fenders from mercury land 2 years ago. www.mercuryland.com. Give them a try. They might have your other parts too. I have right and left inner fender panels off my 51 merc if you need them. PM me if interested. Also have 51 Merc Monterey front bumper with brackets. I wish you all the best. Hope the guy had insurance.
Sorry for your bad luck. I would be interested to know who your insurance Co. is and how they handle this with you.
Man, that blows. Sorry to hear, but glad you weren't hurt as well. Good luck getting it back together asap.
Pictures? I know you probably don't want to see right now but I always like to see how older vehicles hold up in accidents.
